Marseille haven't been consistent this season with their performances in the French league but that hasn't been the same in the UEFA Europa League competition where they've been doing exceptionally well. The face Portuguese side Benfica in the quarter finals of the competition and considering the performance of both teams in their respective leagues this season, many including bookmakers are tipping Benfica to reach the semi final atvthe expense of Marseille. But I don't think it'll be as possible for Benfica as many people think of that tie because Marseille's style of football and performance in the competition this season is totally different from how they play in their domestic league which is why I think they're very determined to win the UEFA Europa League competition this season and should be considered as a major threat
Marseille experienced 3 matches with defeats in two different events, first in the European League against Villareal, even though they qualified for the next phase. two more matches in domestic competition, a loss against Rennes and a match against PSG. It seems that there has been a slight decline in the team under the guidance of Jean-Louis Gasset. but it's natural for me personally, after all, Jean-Louis Gasset has only managed Marseille in 9 matches in all competitions with Marseille. At the very least, he needs much more solid chemistry to form a more ideal team. Before the match against Benfica, Marseille will play a match against Lille. In this match, Lille is more favored than Marseille, especially since Jean-Louis Gasset's team is playing away from home. Let's see how this match turns out. In the first match of the season, the match ended in a draw. my estimation, not many goals will be scored by the two teams that will compete this morning.
Talking about the match against Benfica, the home team is superior to Marseille in the Europa League quarter-final match. however, the available odds are equally good for both teams. It is possible that the first leg match could potentially end in a draw, or Marseille could be able to beat the home team. Well, because this match still has a time lag, it would be better if we just look forward to the Lille versus Marseille match which will be held in the next few hours.
